Question

at which location could you place the north pole of a bar magnet so that it would be pushed away from the magnet shown? a. c b. b c. d d. a

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the magnetic pole interaction rule

Like poles repel each other. So, the north pole of the new magnet should be placed near the north pole of the shown magnet.

Step2: Determine the poles of the shown magnet

Magnetic field lines go from the north pole to the south pole outside the magnet. In the given diagram, since field lines are coming out of point \(A\), \(A\) is the north pole of the shown magnet.

Answer:

D. A
